i think Zeb must be back at work as i have not seen much of him here lately so I will have a look at the guest permissions to see if something is set incorrectly.

On behalf of the Admin here i appologize for the spam...

Feel free to SPAM this email account all you want...

Ok folks I have changed a few settings. Forgive me Zeb if I have screwed things up... :shock:

Guest were able to view profiles, calender, member list and had permission to use the search feature of the forum. I have shut those options down for Guest and hope that will solve the issue.

please post here in this thread if these changes have any affect on the accopunts of the regular members.

Hi :)
A lot going on (back @ work).
This is (if I remember correctly), the same as last time.
In theory no one other than members can PM.
Even then they have to have made several posts.

I just wonder as it relates to increasing forum traffic.
Is it something forumotion allow.

If so it is still wrong.

The last time I PM'd some one there.
But got no response whatsoever. lala
